NICE! That's how you do an intercooler! Built to fit... love it!

Also liking the wingless, or sort of wingless MB

Are you bringing any rotaries to DGRR this year Phil? Or is little John driving you again?

20b 3rd gen · 02-22-2012, 09:49 PM

LOL Brian, little John. I think he's driving this year.

Thanks Brian! I'm hoping to bring the MB to DGRR.. I drove it today and took some pics (see below). But man, I was spinning everywhere!! I guess the payment is still kind of chilly.

Little John=== LOL!

February 26th, 2012 - I've bandaid fixed my ignition issue on my MB FD and drove around town today. Also, thought I snap some recent pics with the new hatch and the cleaner look.

March 5th, 2012 - Update from my fabricator Walker Morgan @ MPFab.com
Walker who's a professional, keeps me updated on the progress on the set up. One of the reason why I think he's a true professional. I've never asked him for a pic and he sends them to keep me informed. Also, he's awesome about meeting his time frame (he's would of finished it all but he's waiting on few things I've ordered.. so, its my fault).

Anyhow, he sent these pics of the wastegate setup.. But there is a chance we might change it up a bit.

March 15th, 2012 - Well, I been so busy with so much stuff, I haven't had time to update this until today.

Let's see what has happened since.. Picked up my new catback that I bought several months ago...

RE-Amemiya Dual Dolphin tip Catback

Took about 4-5 hours to polish it back to new like state. This exhaust will go on my MB FD.

I have the same creeper... Wish I had the same muffler..

RCCAZ 1 · 04-04-2012, 04:08 PM

No updates?? SEMA's coming......

rxspeed7 · 04-04-2012, 05:40 PM

looks amazing!!!!!!! WOW!!

How thick is the tubing on the manifold after the collector? Like right before the header?

***Herblenny*** · 04-05-2012, 08:18 PM

I know.. I been so busy, I haven't had a chance to update...

April 5th, 2012 - Its been awhile since I last updated and I have quite a bit to post up.

To start, I got my Radiator and the core from Bell Intercoolers (www.bellintercoolers.com)

MPFab did some quick mock ups to see how its going to line up.

***Herblenny*** · 04-06-2012, 07:00 AM

April 6th, 2012 - I been also working on the MB FD.

For the MB, I got hold of rare RE-Amemiya dual Dolphin tip catback.

i had a bit of an issue taking the old one out and took 4 hours vs. normal 30-45mins.. All because of this one nut!

Pic of installed catback (bad pic)

Holy mother of mergatroid!! How thick is that IC core? Looks like 10 inches thick! Wow!! You'll need to be careful on your mounting system as to not have any rubbing between that chubby core and your rad. Looking nice!

Its all pretty thick 321. Why do you ask?

April 6th, 2012 Part B - MB Strut tower... AutoEXE

Front was fairly easy to put on.. Minus getting rid of Garfinkle brace.

Rear was bit more challenging as I had to cut the panels.

Before:

During:

After:

I also decided to put the Bose tube back in.. In someways, I kind of missed it

RCCAZ 1 · 04-07-2012, 08:32 PM

How did you attach the cargo cover clips to the bottom of the brace or is the cover just free floating in there??
